@your_phone_archive.txt  (2023)



@your_phone_archive.txt is an installation and performative piece about how the mobile phone has become an extension of the human body. Simply a commentary on the trust we hold with technology in 2023.

In collaboration with the general public, we asked strangers for a selfie, recent text messages, notes and iconography from phone software to create personalised digital portraits using Clip Clop, Deepmind Software.

We created a performance to live alongside the portraits. Paying homage to Marina Abramovic, tackling ideas of trust through balance, and using cables to create tension. A beautifully confusing piece that can’t help but provoke humour, reflects a journey in understanding our relationships with personal technology.

Performance, 7 minutes
